Chapter 148 [Beneiro·Founder Of The New Land Warfare], Heavy Rain [2/5 For Automatic Subscription]
"Cough cough cough..."
Amidst the suppressed coughing, Benero hunched over the city wall of Loluben, his somewhat pale face indicating that the other party's physical condition was not ideal at the moment.
Since the fortress of Townsville Mountain City was breached, he has also tried to gather the remnants these days, anxious for the nobles with territories around him to join the battle, and adopted either ambushes and sneak attacks, or cavalry guerrilla tactics.
Slows down the advancing speed of the Prouker kingdom's army.
However, the results were not ideal, and some results were achieved in the early stage, but they discovered it later.
The actions of myself and others are like being seen through by a pair of eyes in the sky.
Every time the guerrilla cavalry who went out, as soon as they appeared, they would be hit hard by the preparations. They wanted to retreat but found that the back road had been cut off by the opponent's army at some point.
Benero learned from the scouting cavalry of the empire that the Prouker king, whom the two had met more than once, personally led Prouker's army into the east of Rotis.
As a result, Benero could only turn all his troops and energy to Louben, a city built along the river embankment.
The shortest part of the river in the Louben city is just within the range of the Prouker kingdom's shelling.
So these days, Benello directly ordered all the soldiers under his command to dig a hole, the deeper the better, blink.
At the same time, layers of sandbags were placed on the top of the tunnel, bed crossbows, repeating crossbows, bows and arrows, all weapons that could cause long-range damage were all arranged.
When Ulysses led the army to the Louben River.
Through the telescope, I can see that on the side of the Louben River near them, trenches built one after another lie across the place where the river can be crossed.
There are three or four trenches, and on the other side of the river bank, the Luoluben River also has a total of three ditches with sandbags, and the last one is Luoluben City.
Ulysses put down the binoculars, looked at the familiar line of defense, and finally couldn't help sighing.
"Beneiro, as expected of the Marshal of the Empire who has fought for decades, unexpectedly came up with a solution so quickly.
Ulysses and their military operations are still in the era of volleying guns. However, Benero started from the defense when the tools of war could not be improved.
Directly come up with Ulysses' previous and modern land warfare trench positions that were not developed until the appearance of breech-loading guns.
Although the opponent's understanding of the artillery itself is not comprehensive, the position is obviously lacking in the ability to defend against the artillery, but it has to be said that it has indeed successfully limited the value of the artillery on the side of the Prouker Kingdom.
If it is said that the Prouker Kingdom created a new type of land warfare, it is the pioneer of the era of thermal weapons.
This old man of the Rotis Empire is undoubtedly the founder of the new land warfare.
Originally, Ulysses, who had felt a little swollen in his heart along the way, finally took a deep breath after seeing these positions, and his expression became serious.
Almost underestimated the people of the world.
"Order the infantry battalion led by Baron to speed up the march, and at the same time let the supply and transportation team bring in more shells as soon as possible~". "
Ulysses said solemnly.
Looking at the flag of the army of the Prouker Kingdom on the wall of Lüben, the neat military appearance made Benello's eyes flash with solemnity.
When he saw the side of the Prouker Kingdom, apart from the musketeers launching the special battle formation as usual, the soldiers who controlled the artillery also set up artillery positions one after another.
At the same time, cavalry was also arranged to guard against the surrounding raiding troops.
However, they didn't see how they advanced, and even the artillery didn't seem to move at all.
"The first line of defense of the order is absolutely guarding against me, so be vigilant!"
Humming, the bugle sounded with a special rhythm from the top of Luoluben City.
All of a sudden, the battlefield became tense.
However, Benero was weak and stuck on the city wall, seeing that the army of the Prouker Kingdom did not take any offensive actions. Although his face became paler, he rejected the adjutant's request to let him go down to rest.
In the battle of Luoluben City, he can be said to bet everything and do his best to create a breathing space for the empire.
The war came to the side of the Prouker Kingdom, and Barong led 12,000 cold-armed Prouker infantry to arrive, and the end of the regiment was officially launched.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Under the attack of one shell after another from the Prouker Kingdom, the Louben River exploded around the defenders of the Rotis Empire's position. The ground trembled, and even the river water behind it also had violent ripples.
"call out!"
Amid a sharp sound of piercing the air, the defenders of the Rotis Empire retreated their heads back into the trenches of the position like a conditioned reflex, and the explosion exploded around the sandbags on the side of the head.
The wet sand immediately flew all over the sky.
"Counterattack! Archers throw! Bed crossbow! The intact bed crossbow, hurry up and start firing."
"Bang bang bang!"
While roaring, the officers of the Rotis Empire immediately stood on the edge of the trench and shot an arrow in the direction of the Prouker Kingdom's army's attack.
The arrows shot together crossed a parabola in the air, but they didn't dare to raise their heads to check the situation outside.
Above the head, the sharp whistle of projectiles sounded all the time.
Some officers who had just stuck their heads out, trying to check the attack situation of the Prouker Kingdom, were unlucky, and were directly hit in the head by a projectile, killing them on the spot.
Of course, this kind of battle itself looks huge, except that the artillery of the Prouker Kingdom itself caused certain casualties to the Rotis Empire.
Whether it's the crossbowmen of the Rotis Empire or the Musketeers of the Prouker Kingdom.
In fact, it can be said that chickens peck at each other.
One side is a crossbowman who cannot form a scale and has a rather limited range.
One side is to use the Prouker musketeers who can't be designed so accurately and can only use gun tactics to kill rats blindly.
After Benero designed the tactic of trenches, the threat of the Mini rifle itself on the Prouker kingdom has been reduced to a minimum.
Seeing this scene, Ulysses understood.
The Minie rifle was to begin to gradually decrease, or even disappear, from the Prouker army's lineup.
Fortunately, the appearance of those gunpowder experts made the Prouker Kingdom manufacture firing pin breech-loading rifles, and the design and manufacture have officially started.
With this improved firearms, the era of platooning guns will officially end.
Although the combat effectiveness of the muskets on the side of the Prouker Kingdom is greatly limited, there is no doubt that the Prouker Kingdom is in the offensive battle of the position on the Louben River.
Still a clear advantage.
"Harry, immediately lead 3,000 light cavalry and quickly go south along the river bank to stop the enemy's secret mobilization of troops."
While staring at the Goldfinger map, Ulysses gave orders to Harry who was standing by.
The father-in-law didn't ask any questions and just took orders to leave.
And soon, Benello received a report from his soldiers that he wanted to cross the river secretly from the lower reaches of the Louben River, go around to the rear of the Prouker army, and cut off their supply line. Brutal hunt by Prouker light cavalry.
The loss was heavy, and the operation directly declared a failure.
"boom!"
Benello slapped the pens in his hands on the table in anger. Looking around, the three lines of defense on the Louben River have been successfully captured at this moment.
And now, less than a day has passed.
"Old man, help the empire quickly, now, I can't stand it anymore..."
At night, after Benello gave the order to guard against night raids, he stood alone on the city wall, murmured while looking at the sky in the howling wind.
In the palace of the Emperor Luotis.
Falma looked at Kesanger in front of her, and gave the order for Grand Duke Genister to raid the Prouker Railway.
Not a word.
«Marshal Benero is blocking the enemy forces on the Eastern Front by the Louben River. I have sent someone to quickly inform the Gruberny Empire to let them enter the eastern part of the empire as soon as possible, and together with Marshal Benero to attack Prouker army.
"King Prouker is in the east. This is the best time for us to raid the steppe."
"Once successful, the Eastern Front will be stable, and the hinterland will also welcome the support of the alliance army."
"As for the Western Front...it can only be left at the end."
Kesanger told Falma about his plan, and from a strategic point of view, there was no problem in itself.
But there are two practical problems in front of us.
Falma: "Has Your Majesty ever thought about what if Marshal Benero didn't insist until the reinforcements from the Gruberni Empire arrived, or if they didn't send reinforcements at all?"
"Also, has Your Majesty ever thought that if the raid fails, not only the Grand Duke Genest will be in danger, but the entire Golden Knights will be left on the grassland forever."
Kessanger was silent, he had now awakened, but it was too late. He is naturally aware of these issues.
but.
"Then leave it to God, I will never be a subjugated king!"
Namibia Defense Line.
When the Grand Duke Genister received this order, his face was not moved at all, as if he had already thought of this. (Ji Hao
There is no fear in his heart, just a little sad.
It used to be the most powerful legion of the Rotis Empire in the South and North, but now it can only be used to fight for the empire's respite, and it is very likely that it will stay on the grassland forever.
A well-known guard on the Namibian defense line looks at the Grand Duke Genister.
There is some sadness in the eyes.
They are on the front line, and they are absolutely aware of the dangers on the Paloson Grassland outside the Goff Mountain Pass at this moment.
Grand Duke Genister, who received such an order at this time, is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"My lord, the explosives have also been delivered. This time, His Majesty's order is to do everything possible to blow up the railway from the city of Dickulus to the city of Bree Carnegie."
"The bigger the destruction, the better!"
The envoy left, Genister accepted the order, looked at the dark night, and murmured.
"Your Majesty, the Golden Knights will never disgrace the glory of our ancestors, please bless us.
Maybe prayer really helped.
Attack on September 23.
Just when Prouker's army had successfully captured the first three lines of defense on Benero's side, and began to cross the river under the cover of artillery fire.
There was a burst of thunder in the sky.
"Boom!"
When a drop of rain dripped on Setsuna on the face of Benero on the city wall, Ulysses raised his head slightly, narrowing his cold eyes slightly.
The torrential rain came in an instant...
